CABLE INSPECTION ON QUEENSFERRY CROSSING

August 27, 2024

  • Reduced speed limit between 08:00 and 18:00 for nine days from 27 August 2024

A reduced speed limit of 50mph will be in force on the Queensferry Crossing between 08:00 and 18:00 each day from Tuesday 27 August to Friday 30 August, and again from Monday 2 September to Friday 6 September. This is for safety while routine cable inspection works are carried out at the side of the carriageway.

Dave Bishop, BEAR Scotland’s South-East Unit Bridges Manager, said: “The Queensferry Crossing is a complex structure that requires constant inspection, however we’ve planned these works to minimise disruption by ensuring that all lanes remain open to traffic during the day, with a reduced speed limit for safety.”
